BISMARCK, Jan, 1S.-As In indicated in yester-
days early dispatches and described in later
ones, tho dlsaffection Of seven South Dako
tans, viz, Hobart Of Moody; Maltimore, Of
Hanson; Sullivan Of Aurora; Jones, Of Charles
Mix; Mentzer, Of Davidson; Ruggles, of Ed
munds; and Berry, Clark, led to the demolit-
ion Of the South Dakota combination which
elected the speaker and organized the House.
All yesterday afternoon and until II In the
evening the House was kept imprisoned under
call Of the House, Ruggles being absent and
the majority refusing to adjourn. just enough
Of the North Dakota combination were absent
to prevent contamination Of their scheme to
reorganize the House and their opponents rc-
fused to help them by adjourning.
During Monday night the members from the
North were caucussing. Every means was
adopted to secure the presence Of the absent
members, Elliott who was at Fargo, and
Mcdonald, who was at Valley City. The tele.
graph was brought into requisition, specia
train chartered to get them to Bismarck by 81
o'clock Tuesday. But the Southern mem
bers had not been idle, and as soon as DR.
Stewart learned that the whole scheme wal
founded on Hobarts indignation at not 70
ceiving the chairmanship of the committee OF
railroads, he told Hobart that he would resign
and allow the speaker to appoint hin
(Hobart) chairman. He would do this for tue
sake Of harmony, and with this understanding
and the further stipulation that Fletcher should
give up the craftsmanship of the committee on
appropriations to Berry, one of the secession
lists, and that F. P. Ward, of Parker, should
relinquish the chairmanship Of tbe committee
on insurance to Roper, another disgruntled
member Of the seven, and that Hobart would
be allowed to give the craftsmanship Of the
ways and means Committee to Jones, Of Charles
Mix, the man who made the motion to recon-
slider the vote on the rules. The mantle of
peace was gradually drawn around the shoul-
ders Of the Southern lawmakers, and the
North was left founderiDg away out in thr
cold.
